Plastic Hunting brings the same learning-by doing approach to school grounds and neighborhoods. Students collect plastic waste in their own environment – around the school, playground or nearby parks. This programme is especially accessible for schools all over the Netherlands and for younger age groups.
Our programmes are made possible through generous donations and partnerships. This allows publicly funded primary schools to participate free of charge, while secondary schools, students and other education institutions can join at a reduced, accessible rate.
Our programmes are suitable for all ages. Plastic Fishing is especially popular with kids from groups 7&8 onwards, whilst all students enjoy the focus on fun, discovery and awareness. For secondary school students and university groups, we dive deeper into causes, solutions and circular thinking.
The activity takes around 2 hours. This included a short introduction, the hands-on activity, and time to reflect together. Plastic Hunting takes place at selected locations, mainly in and around Amsterdam. Plastic Hunting can be organised on or near the school.
Children remember what they do. By actively taking part – on the water or on land – students don’t just learn about plastic pollution, they experience the solution. This creates pride, ownership and motivation that lasts well beyond the activity itself.

Groups 3–5: 1 supervisor for every 5 students. Groups 6–8: 1 supervisor for every 8 students. This ensures a safe and enjoyable environment.
We ask for 1 supervisor per 8 students for secondary schools. Rangers guide the activity, and teachers support group safety.
Only weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes are required. We will provide the materials.
Thanks to donations, publicly funded primary schools can participate for free.

Yes. We start with clear safety instructions. Students use grabbers and gloves and do not enter water. Teachers remain responsible for supervision.
